SCA: security update for org.keycloak:keycloak-quarkus-server (GHSA-jgwc-jh89-rpgq)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416367

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A vulnerability was found in the Keycloak Server. The Keycloak Server is vulnerable to a denial of service
(DoS) attack due to improper handling of proxy headers. When Keycloak is configured to accept incoming
proxy headers, it may accept non-IP values, such as obfuscated identifiers, without proper validation.
This issue can lead to costly DNS resolution operations, which an attacker could exploit to tie up IO
threads and potentially cause a denial of service. The attacker must have access to send requests to a
Keycloak instance that is configured to accept proxy headers, specifically when reverse proxies do not
overwrite incoming headers, and Keycloak is configured to trust these headers. (CVE-2024-9666)
